A lot of mambo jumbo but said very little .. You wanna know the real trading psychology secret ? Work on your self-discipline, patience, accountability , mindfulness and humbleness .. If you wanna be in the Top 5 % you need to establish golden rules around your trading derived from past mistakes and you need self-discipline to enforce these golden rules in your trading never to be broken , you need to avoid over-trading and impulse trading so you need to be extremely patient to have the ability to sit hours in front of the computers waiting for the right set up to come your way , you need to learn from your past mistakes and NOT repeat them again so you need accountability to be able to pull that off because in trading it is you against you , no one is watching over your shoulder and there is no one in the room to hold you accountable so you need to develop accountability , you need mindfulness to be able to stay tuned into your own emotional life because there will be days when you are emotionally off , not in a clear head , so you need mindfulness to keep you away from the computer on emotionally down days like these and prevent you from blowing your account when your state of mind is off , and you need humbleness because it is easy to get over-confident when you start winning and when you are green multiple days in a row , markets have their unique way of kicking you right in the face when you feel like you are the king and that you have finally figured out this trading thing you need mindfulness to make you stay grounded ... To cut a long story short, the traders that are in the 5 % are the ones who have mastered not a particular strategy or how to read MACs or fibonacci retracements correctly, but have mastered their own psychology ... So, roll up your sleeves and get to work ..!

I literally could have saved myself from 4-6 losing trades this past week if I just would’ve adhered to some simple rules that I developed. Didn’t stick to the plan. At least I still closed the week 12% ahead. Could have been closer to 18%. Thank you for the expert knowledge. 👍👍👍
I'm new to trading (6 months in). I've lost and I've won, but not consistent yet, of course. This channel is helping me become a better, and certainly more professional, trader. Thank you!!
I am a vol-trader (OTC exotics) for a fund and used the internal mobile apps but decided to use a colocated server in NJ and remote into it. 4-5ms latency and 2Gbps symmetric. Kind of overkill for a mouse clicker as I am not automated. I am using Splashtop for the time being and it's very fast on the M4.
